    My .com domain actually redirects to a .co.uk for the very reason that you mention :) And I made sure to host the site on servers in the UK as well! Adobe has moved to a subscripti…

    Hi deeths, my site leaves it up to the seller (or buyer) to comply with restrictions on the usage of software. This seems to be how ebay deals with this issue as well. For example,…
